This name could just as easily mean "the king's delight", with the second element derived from Persian ناز (naz) meaning "delight, comfort" (see the entries of Golnaz and Mehrnaz in the main database).

In fact, Wiktionary says nothing about pride:https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B2#Persian (in English)Also compare the Turkish name Naz from the main database, which means "coy" in Turkish but is ultimately of Persian origin.
